Hunkered down:
Thought for the Day:
It is not advisable, James, to venture unsolicited opinions. You should spare yourself the embarrassing discovery of their exact value to your listener.
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, 1957
(I am re-reading some Ayn Rand, a long time ago I dated a girl who had a picture of her holding a shotgun and smoking a cigar, that being said, I like her work, long but a lot of thought and she on a regular, basis pisses me off, as for the girl, she was a psyco-hose-beast and now works for the Postal Service).
A word of Thx:
A word of thanks to the many of you of have wished me well and a speedy recovery, its been very heart warming and kind of ya’ll. I didn’t know that that many people really read the crap I put down in this blog, and being Catholic guilt works on me very well, I wasn’t going to post anything but here goes with some disjointed feverous thoughts.
Drink Re-Cap:
El Salvador Iced Tea
Ingredients:
3/4 oz. Grand Marnier
3/4 oz. Tia Maria
3/4 oz. Amaretto
3/4 oz. Vodka
3/4 oz. Blue Curacao

Garnish w/ Lemon Twist
Jonestown Kool-Aid

1 1/4 oz. Meyer's Dark Rum
1 Cube Of Sugar
3/4 oz. Chambord

1/2 oz. Grenadine

Garnish w/ a Orange & Cherry
Serve all Cocktails in a Pint glass. Don’t drink and drive, but if you must, I find the driving a church bus, a garbage truck or a panel van that has Organ Donation written of the side helps avoid being pulled over. (I dare you to try one or two over the weekend. Let me know how they were, unlike all the others I have not taste-tested these, enjoy!)
On stuff to write:
Well, I am sorry these past few posts have been so boring, I really don’t have a lot going on. I am sick and it doesn’t allow for a lot of creative thought or insightful comments. Not that I don’t have them just don’t have the energy to put them down.
On TV:
You ever notice how when your home with nothing to do, there is not a god-dame thing on TV? I have been watching re-runs of 70’s TV series and cooking shows (plus of course CNN and the BBC).
On Commercials:
Right now my favorite commercial would have to be the Caveman series they are running for Geico.
On spelling a grammar:
Yes, dear reader, you kind soul who bares with me. My typing a grammar skills are even worst when I am sick and heavily medicated. I have noticed but I have not had the energy to go back and edit. I guess I am in a kind of, fuck it mood.
On Health:
Pneumonia sucks…last night I (we) thought I was going to have to go in and be admitted again, but today the fever has broken (down all the way to 100). So, here is hoping that I have turned to corner on this shit.
Weekend plans:
We tonight I was to head to that great city on the lake for the Hard Working and Festive Mrs. John Q. Public’s work party. I sadly am not going, shame the food would off been good as would a night out in C-Town. She found another date to take my place and said she would call to check in. Perhaps Sunday if I am up to it I might meet Tattoo John for a going-away drink, but right now that doesnt sound like a fun thing to do, or smart, so there is a good chance I will.
On cooking:
Absolutely nothing to report here, I have not eating for three days. Now that’s what really sucks about being sick, I enjoy eating almost has much has cooking. Now this really sucks.
On Sex:
I have found another thing that is affected by my latest illness. I am in a 100% none-sexual mood (this however, could be interpreted by the Sweet and Loving Mrs. John Q. Public as a welcome break). I have been off all week, with access to the internet and I have not even hit my favorite internet porn sites. Damn, sick or getting old? Lets hope my recovery is soon and full.
On WMD:
Now I remember that during our last campaign in Iraq that was a news flash reporting that a Marine Capt. had found a brief case full of biological and chemical weapons and that the insurgents had been found with gas-masks. Now that story quickly went away. It seems it wasn’t true. This week we officially called off the search for WMD in Iraq. There were not any. I just wanted to call that to the attention of my right-wing friends. Lies and Bull-Shit.
On GWB the II:
Not long ago someone asked me what it would take for me to “like” the president. My reply was easy I don’t think I could and/or would ever “like” the president. Respect…that’s another story. I could very easily respect him if he resigned and assisted with the ensuing investigation.
Well, I am not going to hold my breath on that one. So, how about this, what if he came clean and said what everyone else in the world and 49% of the US knows, he did it for oil and so that the rich could make a bit more money off the backs and blood of others.
Hell, I might be happy if he just came out and called it a crusade.
The Draft:
Not a popular opinion but I support the draft, hell yeas bring it back but this time no wavers. All of a sudden all those 17 and 18 year old kids would because experts on our national policies. The last true draft we had been for the Korean War, you could have a man from NC with a 7th grade education serving in the same squad as a millionaires son from NYC. From the integrated armed forces in the 50’s and the draft we has American’s got to know each other, people who would have never meet, never spoke to, perhaps hated because of race or ethnicity, gained respect for each other.
The big reason that W wont bring back the draft is because it would make the protests of the 60’s look like a walk in the park.
If not Him, Who, You ask:
Someone asked me via e-mail last night if I would have been happier with Kerry or for that matter Gore (Gore, remember him, the guy who was elected?) I don’t know, I was voting for the less of two evils.
If our nation is going to be war in an ongoing basis, which it seems is the plan (remember those warnings from a long time ago by a great president about the military-industrial complex?) Well, my dream team would be McCain and Powell, both are leaders both are proven and both have served, unlike anyone on W’s current leadership team. These two I could easily follow.
Word/Phrase for the Day:
A case of the ass: Highly annoyed, pissed off. Currently used in US Army and by veterans of the same. Example:
“That ol’ boy is getting close to giving me a major case of the ass.”
“Sergeant Greenfield has this huge case of the ass with me ever since I wrecked his humvee”
(Use it three times this weekend)
Your Joke of the Day:
The 87 year old said to a friend who was 7 years his junior; "Well, I eat Italian bread every day. It keeps your energy level high and you'll have great stamina with the ladies."
So, on the way home, the 80 year old stops at the bakery.As he was looking around, the lady asked if he needed any help.He said, "Do you have any Italian bread?" She said, "Yes, there's a whole shelf of it. Would you like some?"He said, "I want 5 loaves." She said, "My goodness, 5 loaves...don't you think by the time you get to the 5th it'll be hard?"He replied, "Holy shit ... does everybody in the world know about this Italian bread but ME?!"
Your Bill for the Day:
And since you know you cannot see yourself,
so well as by reflection, I, your glass,
will modestly discover to yourself,
that of yourself which you yet know not of.
William Shakespeare, English dramatist & poet (1564 - 1616)
On what I am reading:
Well, so far this This week I have read six novels (you know the kind you buy at the airport, crime, mysteries and horror and not one thing from any of them has stuck with me, just filler to keep my mind working or as I said earlier this week chewing gum for the mind. Today I started to re-read some Ayn Rand I had around (I decided on Fountainhead). Poets; Miss Dickenson and EE. Cummings, yesterday it was Poe. I try to read several poets a day, belive it or not but there is always something to find in poems, some truth or someway to say something that makes me stop and say god-damn that was cool.
Quote of the Day:
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
Redd Foxx US comedian (1922 - 1991)
(I dear reader do not think I will have that problem, I shall not go gently into that good night)
